Dunkins sounds pretty good now doesn't it?

[vercetti2021]

I know where all my coffee money is going now. Plus I can get some kick ass donuts too.

America runs on it as they say.

1. I never could afford Starbucks

Maybe once a year as a treat but other than that, I make my coffee at home and haul around a thermos. I can't have fancy cream or sugar anyway. If I want a change of flavor, I just use cinnamon or nutmeg.

2. Four Buck Chucks has hardly any presence in my city.

We have many independant coffee shops that all have better coffee for less money. The only place they surive is in malls where they have a monopoly.

[Skidmore]

3. Good grief. Schultz hasn't

worked at Starbucks for six years and people are whipping up a boycott against the company. It won't hurt him. If you want to protest his potential candidacy, give him direct feedback.

[W_HAMILTON]

4. Someone said he's still their largest shareholder by far.

If so, a boycott most certainly would send a stronger message to him than "giving him direct feedback."

[FSogol]

15. Dunkin is owned by the Caryle Group and Bain Capital. The boycott is probably their idea

and everyone on social media follows along mindlessly.

[Skidmore]

17. In what is left of my life,

Dunkin is something I will not drink. bitter and nasty tasting. I stop one day a week at the Starbucks shop in our grocery store. It's my one treat in the two trips I make outside my home now. OT and groceries. I'll continue to enjoy my Starbucks treat.

I don't think Schultz will run. He seems to be listening to critics.

5. Dunkin donuts are nothing special

Any other chain is atleast as good. Coffee is fine but not amazing. Isnt DD owned by Mitt Romney's Bain Capital? I hate to say Starbucks coffee is head and shoulders above any other major coffee. Just my opinion.

10. Find a Krispy Kreme. Their hot donuts are life changing.

[MineralMan]

16. Krispy Kreme Tried to Move into the Twin Cities, MN.

They failed. Why? They put their stores in the wrong places and nobody went to them, because they were out of the way. They chose locations based on the cost of the space, rather than on traffic flow patterns. Not smart.

[Sanity Claws]

6. What about a small business instead?

I avoid the major chains because they generally pay minimum wage with no benefits. (Starbucks actually pay their workers better than most.) Here in NYC, there are lots of coffee to go carts in the mornings. They are often owned and staffed by an immigrant trying to make a living. Other places probably have small coffee shops that sell coffee to go.

[Mr. Quackers]

7. The truck stop sells coffee

got two of them right outside of town by the Interstate ramps.

Nearest starbucks or dunkin is 20 miles away.

[cwydro]

8. I make my own coffee. I'll occasionally get a Starbucks, but they're overpriced.

My two or three a year isn’t going to affect this man at all.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

9. Got a Tim Hortons just around the corner.

Dangerous place, though, because of all the pastries.

[Demsrule86]

12. True story, a few years ago I was coming back from Erie PA to Cortland Ohio...about an

hour and a half...my youngest was with me. She wanted a chai tea latte which was on Tim Horton's menu. But the two jokers who worked there thought it would be amusing I guess to give her a coffee with a tea bag in it...I was so angry but my daughter hates confrontations. So I called Tim Hortons the next day, they were rude and couldn't have cared a less; I have not set foot in a Tim Hortons since. Also remember Schultz is the former CEO of Starbucks. I don't like Starbucks that much anyway...coffee is good for my taste but I know they don't really treat their workers well as my future daughter in law works there.

[Demsrule86]

11. I can't eat donuts (celiac) and I hate Dunkins coffee. Mom and Pop for me...

small coffee bars

[dameatball]

13. I have always liked the coffee at Dunkin Donuts and Krispy Kreme. Not to mention the donuts.

[FSogol]

14. Not really, Dunkin is owned by the Caryle Group and Bain Capital.

Schultz is no longer CEO of Starbucks.

[BuddhaGirl]

18. Never liked their coffee

I have Peets and Philz close by so I can get along fine without Starbucks!

[crazycatlady]

19. Wawa

[obamanut2012]

20. No, their coffee and tea sucks and they are owned by Carlyle/Bain

I have a Nepresso, so my lattes will be made by me for now. Maybe I can find a Peet's or something while traveling.
